08-21-21 It has come to my attention that the facsimile of Felonius Gru has been abducted from the final! To be continued...

PLEASE NOTE: PERMISSION HAS BE GIVEN BY THE OWNER TO PLACE THIS CACHE HERE.  

I’m in hiding at a top secret location from my archnemesis, Vector.  He’s trying to steal my Shrink Ray!   Only my Minions know my location.    To find me you must locate 10 of my Minions.  Each Minion only knows one digit of the coordinates of my hiding location. 
I’m at 
N42  AB.CDE 
W088 FG.HIJ   

FTF goes to..., drum roll please...Suncitysandy

BYOP!!

“Next, we are going to steal... pause for effect... the MOON! And once the moon is mine, the world will give me whatever I want to get it back, and I will be the greatest villain of all time! That's what I'm talking about.” Gru announcing his plans to the Minions. Ever since Gru was young, he tried to impress his mother with his inventions to no avail (even after building a highly successful rocket, his mother is still not impressed). This neglectful treatment from his mother is what led him to become a villain in the first place and fly to the moon so that he could take it for himself. Minions In the 2015 prequel, Gru first appeared as a young kid attending the 1968's Villain Con with his mother, observing Dr. Nefario's Freeze Ray. He appears again near the very end freezing Scarlet Overkill and Herb Overkill with the Freeze Ray. With that, he takes the crown from Scarlet and refuses to give it back to her. Kevin (the leader of the Minions) discovers that he has found a new master, so he and the rest of the Minions followed him, leaving Scarlet and Herb in the iceberg; from that point forward on, the Minions follow Gru as their new master. During the credits, Gru becomes a little annoyed with the Minions, but starts to accept them as his friends.
